40 Satellite Sensing: Risk Mapping for Seismic Surveys


One of the most significant challenges in modern onshore seis- mic interpretation is understanding near-surface effects and correcting their impact on subsurface data. Remote sensing using satellites enables 3D mapping and discrimination of sur- face features and lithologies, from which risk maps for logistics and data quality can be developed. Case studies involving desert terrain and glacial moraines illustrate this technique.

52 Options for High-Temperature Well Stimulation


Acidization to improve well performance is often constrained by reservoir temperature. New techniques now allow operators to perform acidization at elevated temperatures in sandstone and carbonate reservoirs without damaging results or undue costs. These advances in well stimulation include new chemical agents and procedures. This technology is illustrated by a variety of examples from Africa, the USA, the Middle East and Asia.
